How about giving the citizenry access to hoses and fire hydrants. If it was possible in a place like the City of York to get a hose and connect it to a fireplug it might mean saving a structure just by having the few minutes of advanced access.]]>

Unlimited licenses for grocery stores and mini-markets. Well there's the price setter. No one will be able to compete with these retailers. These retailers already have the money behind them to crumble one store and build another that incorporates a store double in size in a new green field some where.

But the one thing that won't happen is undercutting prices. Businesses learned a long time ago to not start price wars so they agree to collude and we all lose.

What we do lose is yet more jobs that can sustain a family. We setup a situation where the business community will be lobbying to reduce the taxes that we collect on alcohol requiring more taxes out of citizen's pockets.

Limited wine and liquor licenses mean that I have no chance of opening my own store because the costs while be prohibitive and yet grocery stores, gas stations and mini-markets will be able to get all they want. No mom & pop operations at all. They won't be able to afford the licenses. So once again only those at the top get to participate.
